BTRC imposes price ceiling on three broadband slabs

The highest monthly price of a 5Mbps broadband connectivity is fixed at Tk 500, 10Mbps at Tk 800 and the highest monthly 20Mbps broadband internet connectivity price was set at Tk 1,200.

The commission made the announcement at an inaugural ceremony of the same broadband internet tariff for everywhere in the country on Sunday held at its headquarters in Dhaka.

Posts and telecommunications minister Mustafa Jabbar, BTRC chairman Shyam Sunder Sikder, its telecom secretary Md Afzal Hossain, BTRC director general Brigadier General Md Nasim Parvez, Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited managing director Md Rafiqul Matin and Internet Service Providers Association of Bangladesh president Md Aminul Hakim, among others, spoke at the programme.

Md Nasim Parvez said that the commission had fixed the price keeping the existing reality in mind.

He also hoped that the newly introduced ceiling on tariff rate of broadband internet would ultimately help in increasing broadband internet usage thus supporting a higher economic growth of Bangladesh.
